System Service details for 6505295f475eaa3c91961ee60544d33d

Registry Key

Dnscache

Display Name

DNS Client

Description

Resolves and caches Domain Name System (DNS) names for this computer. If this service is stopped, this computer will not be able to resolve DNS names and locate Active Directory domain controllers. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. BlackViper.com adds this: Resolves and caches DNS names and Active Directory domain controller functions. This service is not required for DNS lookups, but if it makes you happy to have it running, you may. However, DNS Client is required if using IPSEC. If you attempt to 'repair' your network connection and a dialog box complains that the 'DNS resolver failed to flush the cache,' this service is the reason.
